Knoxville, TN (PRWEB)October 22, 2014

The Casual Pint, a craft beer market based in Knoxville, Tennessee, is proud to highlight the franchising opportunities now available nationwide. By offering unparalleled franchise support and training, entrepreneurs can enjoy The Casual Pint mission of sharing the craft beer experience in neighborhoods one pint, one growler and one person at a time. This supportive nature has allowed the namesake to grow to five fully operational stores today with several additional planned openings this quarter.

“The Casual Pint has really grown since our first store opened in 2011 and we’re looking forward to sharing our vision throughout the country,” said Nathan Robinette, President of The Casual Pint. “Within the first nine months of franchising, we secured nearly a dozen new owners to become the fastest growing franchise in the craft beer industry.”

While all six Casual Pint locations are in East Tennessee, the growing enthusiasm is generating interest from several states around the nation. As the franchise model stretches out of Tennessee, it will continue to focus on the take-home sale of bottles, growlers, or kegs while offering a dedicated bar area for pint tastings from an ever-changing 22 tap wall.

“Our stores offer consumers an exclusive variety of craft beers from around the world and are staffed by true beer aficionados who are experts in the field,” said Robinette. “Customers are greeted with a clean and inviting environment where they can relax and share their interests just as they would at a premium coffee shop.”
